First flowers of the season

Here are the first flowers of this year in my garden.
They are in one of those wooden wheelbarrow things in a north facing garden it comes back each year this is the 4th year it has grown.

We've got a clematis flower out - noticed it at the weekend.

tis nice when it happens

I think that's a Dicentra Crichmond but it does seem early for it. It's lovely to have early stuff - but had you no snowdrops or daffodils .

[kentvegplot]

Yes, a lovely dicentra. Apart from bulbs, I've got some amazing flowers on Euphorbias and the earliest flowers were on the hellebores - still going strong.

Isn't it lovely when the garden starts to flower? Must be spring...

I don't even have shoots on my dicentra !

Have beautiful Hepaticas. Must go to my local garden centre... last year they had baby Hepaticas raised from seed and some of them had red blooms !

Yes it is a dicentra, if I remember rightly it is decentra spectablis.
My clematis has loads of flower buds on it as well.
